KID Scrabble Le Mensuel Des Jeunes Scrabbleurs – Paraît De Novembre À Mai Un magazine de la Fédération Belge de Scrabble 8e année – n°77 Janvier 2010 KID Scrabble Le mensuel des jeunes scrabbleurs – paraît de novembre à mai VOTRE PAGE Tout d’abord, permettez- moi de vous souhaiter une BONne et HEUReuse année 2010 ! Que cette année vous apporte tout ce que vous désirez tant dans votre vie privée que dans la vie Scrabblesque ! Notre souhait ? Que le « Kid Scrabble » devienne votre revue ! Ce mois-ci, nous avons demandé à des jeunes qui jouent régulièrement – et surtout à de nouveaux joueurs – ce qui les avait encouragés à jouer et surtout à se rendre régulièrement à des tournois. N’hésitez pas à venir les rejoindre ou à nous envoyer vos articles sur votre vécu (animation, tournois, concours des écoles,…) ! Nadège Dekimpe Présidente de la C.J.S.S. J'ai commencé à jouer au scrabble un peu par hasard… J'accompagnais mon père pour une rencontre interclubs - avec l'équipe C du club où il joue - . J'étais venu seulement dans le but de comprendre ce qui le passionnait tant, mais je ne savais pas qu'en y allant, j'allais … devoir prendre part au match ! Il manquait un joueur et j'ai donc joué le rôle de ce joueur. Début très médiocre, je m'en rappelle encore... Néanmoins, j'ai décidé que je continuerais à jouer pour passer du temps avec mon père et m'améliorer. Ce qui fait que je continue ? C'est le jeu en lui-même : bouger les lettres, chercher la bonne place. Mais ce n'est pas tout : entre chaque manche, le contact avec les autres joueurs fait que le jeu me passionne d'autant plus. Le scrabble me permet de m'échapper, de m'évader du reste de mon temps. Il m'a permis de rencontrer des personnes formidables avec lesquelles je m'entends très bien ! Le tout en fait « un très bon moment à passer » ! Pierre Maes, Junior Pour moi, j'ai découvert le Scrabble grâce à ISC – Internet Scrabble Club –, ce réputé site de Scrabble où on peut jouer en ligne. Ensuite, je me suis mise à jouer en réel dès qu’on m'a parlé des Championnats du Monde à Mons. J’y ai été et depuis, tournois et interclubs s'enchaînent; à présent, je suis en compétition pour une place aux Championnats du Monde à Montpellier ! Le plaisir que j'ai au Scrabble? Y apprendre plein de mots au quotidien… mais aussi y faire des rencontres géniales ! Coralie Delbouille, Junior J’ai découvert le Scrabble grâce à mon papa. Avant de jouer, j’allais pendant les vacances aux amicales, aux tournois du Braine Trust aider au ramassage des bulletins-réponses. Ensuite, je suis venue en tant que « ramasseuse » aux Championnats du Monde à Mons et là, j’ai vu qu’il y avait des jeunes de mon âge. Je m’y suis super bien amusée et depuis, j’adore jouer ! Quand j’ai décidé de jouer, papa m’a proposé de faire des tournois. Au début, je ne voulais pas vraiment… mais j’ai quand même été… et depuis, j’en fais beaucoup car j’adore ! Il y a toujours une chouette ambiance et ça permet de rencontrer des jeunes.

What is Scrabble? The game of Scrabble has been around since 1933 in one form or another in Western society, so I’ve always thought that everyone would have least heard of it. It wasn’t until recently that I realised there are people out there who don’t know what it is. Oddly enough, one of my relatives who is a very worldly character having run various clubs in his day, whom you would have thought was very knowledgeable brought this fact home to me, he was unaware of what it is.

  • CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Project Scrabble
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Project Scrabble is an old classic board game, with game rules that are not very complicated. Compared to other classic board games, such as Chess, there are more factors to take into consideration when making a move in Scrabble. Apart from anagramming and generating words, there are other crucial decisions to make. A player would probably find several legal moves in one round, and then would have to decide which one to place. Choosing the move that generates the highest score is not always the ideal way to go. It could be that making such a move would create a situation in the next round where nothing could be done, or let the opponent score highly. Making the choice of which move to use include many factors, and there are several different techniques and strategies one can follow to make the decision easier.
